Plan for updating article |
→July 2006: this page should describe the language!: Sounds great |
||
Line 86:
A general look at this page (end of July 2006) suggests that it is mostly written from the viewpoint of comparison to other O-O languages and that a much better job can be done of capturing the real flavor of Eiffel. For example there is an inordinate amount of space devoted to trivial matters like typesetting conventions, but almost nothing about the core of the language: mechanisms such as multiple inheritance (mentioned, but no explanation of renaming etc.), once routines, constrained genericity, conversion, agents etc. Time permitting I hope to expand the article in the next few weeks so that in the end it will give a neutral but accurate picture of what Eiffel really is, from the viewpoint of people who actually use it on a daily basis. I also hope to add a few elements about the underlying methodology, without which it's hard to understand Eiffel, and to remove statements of opinion to replace them by more factual information.
:Sounds great. I'll try to help when I can. --[[User:P3d0|P3d0]] 12:23, 15 August 2006 (UTC)
